Actually, Jesus is NOT God. Was Isaiah God also? His name means
"Salvation of Jehovah".
"God with us." God was with Jesus, right? Then anyone around Jesus
would be close to God.
When Jesus went back to Heaven to be with God, notice what the apostle
Paul wrote under inspiration:
-- King James
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every
man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of
Christ is God.
Yes, Jesus in Heaven, is inferior to God. THUS JESUS CAN'T BE GOD!!
James
